Decided to give this a go,


This will be an 8 week log, I started this yesterday.

Current stats:

Weight: around 200 pounds

Height 6’2”

Age: 34

Sex: Male

Workout plan: 531 Boring But Strong , 3 workouts a week 4 day training split

Cardio 3 days a week

= 6 total training days, 1 rest dat

I’m running BBS at a training max of 85%. There will be one set each workout day where I have a chance to set a new PR so we will be able to see if this combo helps me make strength gains .

Diet: High protein, around 2500 calories a day .

Macros are around 50 p 30 f 20 c




I will try to get some before pictures up this week .

I started taking the supplements yesterday.


Other supplements I’m taking :

Orange triad multi vitamin
Omega 3 fish oils


I will be doing weekly updates on my weight. At the end of the log I will upload after pictures .
 
So every workout day . I am first doing either a deadlift / squat / bench / shoulder press and working up to a PR set . After that I am doing 10 sets of 5 reps at a much lighter weight for the same exercise and super setting that with another exercise. On the app I am using it says 10 reps for each exercise but really I am just repping it out and leaving 1 or two in the tank . For the PR sets I am also leaving a few in the tank . I am not going to complete failure but close , I am working to about 2 reps from failure .
 
In on this log for sure!

My weight was holding steady for a few weeks at the set calories before starting the log. I think the best thing to do would be to hold calories steady and see what happens. I have been feeling hungry today/ yesterday . I’m not going to give into it though!
 
Before I started this log I was running a very similar 531 template . For reference it was SST 531 Anchor cycle . Which was similar in volume and cardio was the same. (Simplest Strength Template)

I agree. I would try and hold steady and see how the supplement treats you verse upping cals and not knowing if it was the calorie increase or the supplement.

Yeah I remember when I was younger I could always kill it . Getting older and trying to get back in shape after life has hit you with some hurdles is a humbling experience . I really want to get back to where I was in the past.
 
Weekly weight update .

So last week after daily weigh ins my average weight was 198.6. This week after daily weigh ins my weight average was 196.9. So it looks like my weight on the overall dropped 1.7 pounds on the week. Before I started the log my weight average was 199.3.

For 3 weeks before the log started at the same calories my weekly weigh ins were as follows. 199.3,199.7,199.3 .

Since starting the Urolthin B-XT/ Anafuse stack I have lost a total of 2.4 pounds . During this same time I have hit 2 PR’s so far . One on Squats and One on Deadlifts .
 
Calories will be remaining the same for the entire log regardless of weight . It’s the only way to give a fair assessment.

I would have needed 10 for PR , I could have gotten 9 but I don’t think I would have hit 10. I set that PR when I was about 20 pounds heavier so I’ll take it as a win that I’ve held this much strength .

Lunges 35 pounds per arm really repped these out til I was gassed . 3 sets per legs
